7/5/84 Page -3- <br /> Councilman Luce stated that he felt it was <br /> important for the public to know why Council <br /> is taking this action. In his view, although <br /> it is not going to be understood this way, <br /> 1 this Council, he didn't believe, is taking <br /> this action in any manner to try to pin blame <br /> on any individual. This Council is not looking <br /> for a scape-goat. The City Administrator <br /> is not being placed in that roll. He felt <br /> the issue, as far as he was concerned, is <br /> the issue related to the credibility of the <br /> City Government; it is not an issue of who <br /> is at fault. There is never a good time to <br /> lose a City Administrator. In his view Leon <br /> has served the City very honestly, very <br /> capably, and with a great deal of dedication. <br /> There are points in time where sometimes it is <br /> necessary for a change; or sometimes good <br /> things have to cow to an end.

He requested of Mr. burl that <br /> the matter be expedited and not get into <br /> a lot of problems that could arise. Mayor <br /> Meier stated he would accept Mr. Wurl's <br /> resignation to honor his wishes because <br /> he respected him at a fine City Administrator <br /> and a good human being. <br /> Councilman Leary Commented he felt obliged to give his reasons <br /> why he will accept this resignation.
